Pinces Gardens
Pinces Gardens stands on the site of William Lucombe's nursery founded in 1720, most famous for his development of the Lucombe Oak. The nusery became Lucombe, Pince & Co. in the 1820s. By the 1880s the nurserymen had established the 45 yard long wisteria arch as the centerpiece of the garden, and a position that it retains today.
Exeter City Council has managed the site since 1912. Today, the site is home to Pinces Gardens Bowling Club and the Pinces Gardens Croquet Club.
The annual blossom of the wisteria arch attracts visitors every spring. The rose garden, planted in 2008, continues the Victorian theme of the garden.
The site is easily accessible by foot, bicycle or bus route B from the city centre. Parking is available at neighbouring Cowick Barton Playing Fields.
